PRAYER FOR THE VICTIMS OF WILDFIRES AND DISASTERS: We dedicate today to pray for the victims of the current wildfires in the United States (Los Angeles, California) and victims of natural disasters across the world. We especially pray for those that have lost their lives and their families.
“Most Merciful God, Be āour refuge and our strength, an ever-present help in distressā (Psalm 46:1). You created us and sustain us by Your almighty power. Your mercy knows no bounds. At this time of great suffering, we entrust all victims of the wildfires to You. Comfort them, fill them with Your grace, and provide for their needs. We entrust all who have died to Your merciful Heart. Cleanse them of their sins and welcome them into Your heavenly Kingdom. Give wisdom and prudence to those managing this disaster. Give courage and resolve to those on the front lines. Keep them safe and successful in their efforts. Command the winds and the flames to obey You, Lord, as You once calmed the stormy seas. Pour the water of Your grace upon these destructive fires. Stay them with Your powerful hand. Angels of God, come to the aid of those most in need of Godās mercy. Protect them, guide them, and reveal to them Godās holy will. St. Florian, patron of firefighters, pray for those bravely battling the flames. St. Michael the Archangel, defend them in their peril. Saints in Heaven, we beseech your prayer. Intercede for those most in need. From this tragedy and chaos, bring hope and peace. Turn sorrow into compassion. Turn confusion into faith. Turn despair into divine hope. We place all our trust in You, Most Merciful God, knowing that You will bring forth new life and healing from the ashes of this trial. May Your name be glorified now and forever. Amen” šš½

We pray for an end to the wars and conflicts, and for peace in our families and throughout our divided and conflicted World. For the gentle repose of the souls of all the faithful departed, may the Lord receive them into the light of Eternal Kingdom. Eternal rest grant unto them, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon them. May their gentle souls and souls of all the faithful departed through the mercy of God rest in perfect peace with our Lord Jesus Christ. Amen š āļøšÆāļøšÆāļøšÆ

In this life, you embraced them with your tender love; deliver them now from every evil, and bid them eternal rest. The old order has passed away: welcome them into paradise, where there will be no sorrow, no weeping or pain, but fullness of peace and joy with your Son and the Holy Spirit forever and ever. Amenš

FEAST AND SAINTS OF THE DAY: FEAST OF THE INFANT JESUS OF PRAGUE | MEMORIAL OF SAINT FELIX OF NOLA, RELIGIOUS AND SAINT NINA (NINO), VIRGIN – FEAST DAY ~ JANUARY 14TH:* Today, we celebrate the feast of the Infant Jesus of Prague and the Memorial of Saint Felix of Nola and Saint Nina (Nino), Virgin. On this special feastĀ of Infant Jesus of Prague with special intention through the intercession of our Blessed Mother Mary and the Saints, we particularly pray for the sick and dying and we continue to pray for the repose of the gentle soul of all the faithful departed. š
FEAST OF THE INFANT JESUS OF PRAGUE: The Feast of the Infant Jesus of Prague celebrates the mystery of the Incarnation. The original statue of the Infant Jesus of Prague was created as a royal wedding gift from a Spanish Princess to her Austrian royal cousin. Legend has it that the statue was created by a monk who based it on an apparition he once saw of the Infant Jesus, and tradition holds that the original statue was once possessed by St. Teresa of Ćvila. It was then given to MarĆa Manrique de Lara y Mendoza, a Spanish noblewoman in 1555 who in turn gave it to her daughter Princess Polyexa von Lobkowicz as a wedding gift in 1603. Their daughter, Princess Lobkowicz, gifted the statue to the Discalced Carmelite friars in Prague in 1628 as a loving offering to help the destitute order. She is said to have told the religious that she was giving them her most prized possession and, furthermore, that as long as they venerated the image, they would never be in want. And, sure enough, once the statue was given special devotions at the monastery attached to the Church of Our Lady of Victory in Prague, fortuitous events for the order started taking place.
The Statue of the Infant Jesus of Prague: The statue of the Infant is a slender and beautifully-modeled figure and is carved of wood thinly coated with wax, standing nineteen inches tall, with the left foot barely visable under a long white tunic. In His left hand, the Infant Jesus holds a miniature globe, surmounted by a cross, signifying the world-wide kingship of the Christ Child. The right hand is extended in blessing with the first two fingers being upraised to symbolize the two natures of Christ, Christās divine and human nature, while the folded thumb and last two fingers touch each other representing the unity of the Father, The Son, and the Holy Spirit in the mystery of the Blessed Trinity. The face has a strange power of evoking sentiments of deep gratitude of the mystery of God-made-Man. For all His majestic posture and regal attire, the little King of Prague is more striking for His outward expression of human littleness than by the impression of hidden greatness. The wardrobe of the Infant is similar to the priestās alb: one is of white linen, the other is of lace. Covering these is a dalmatic made of silk or velvet over which is worn a cape. It represents the Infant Jesus dressed in royal robes, wearing a crown. He is King of the Universe.
The home of the Infant Jesus of Prague is in the city of Prague, which is the capital of the Czech Republic. The original statue has been restored and preserved in the Carmelite church of Our Lady of Victory. The Church was returned to the Carmelites after the fall of Communism. According to history, later, the statue had been discarded in war and His hands destroyed. Found by a Carmelite, he fixed the hands and placed the statue in a place of honor in the Carmelite Church in Prague, Czech Republic. In 1637, as Fr. Cyril prayed before the Infant, he was filled with wonder, contemplating the loving God Who became a child for His people. Suddenly, the statue spoke to the stunned Carmelite: “Have mercy on Me and I will have mercy on you. Give Me hands and I will give you peace. The more you honor Me, the more I will bless you.” Many miracles have occurred through intercession to the Divine Infant. During one invasion, all the children of the city were taken to the Church for protectionāpraying to the Infant, they were all saved. For almost four centuries, this promise of protection and blessing has inspired devotion and love of the Infant Jesus of Prague. The statue provides spiritual uplift for millions of people who have adopted the Holy Infantās call to humility, simplicity, and sincerity and to become little in order to become great and pleasing before Christ the King.
The Significance of the Infant Jesus of Prague: Devotion to the Miraculous Infant Jesus celebrates the āChild of Godāāthe great mystery of the Incarnation. The child in all of us believes in the humanity and divinity of Christ and rejoices in Godās caring and protective love for us. The Infant reminds us that God is holding us in the palm of His hand. By depicting Jesus as a child, the tradition of the Infant of Prague also emphasizes His humanity, and how we are children of God because of the salvation that He brings us. As Pope Benedict XVI said: “The figure of the Child Jesus, the tender infant, brings home to us Godās closeness and His love. We come to understand how precious we are in his eyes, because it is through Him that we in our turn have become children of God. Every human being is a child of God and therefore our brother or sister, to be welcomed and respected. May our society grasp this truth! Every human person would then be appreciated not for what he has, but for who he is, since in the face of every human being, without distinction of race or culture, Godās image shines forth.” The effective spiritual meditation is the reason why the Infant Jesus of Prague is so continuously appealing to human hearts all over the world, which he has so firmly in His hands. You can find His statue in almost any church, convent, monastery and house, representing a Divine Protection toward His devotees. He is the Patron Saint of children, family life, missions and those facing financial concerns.
PRAYER TO INFANT JESUS OF PRAGUE FOR A SICK PERSON FOR HEALING: O most dear and sweet Infant Jesus, behold me, a poor suffering person who, sustained by a lively faith, invokes your divine aid to cure my infirmity. I put all my trust in you. I know that you can do all things and that you are most merciful, indeed you are yourself Infinite Mercy. O great little Infant, for the sake of your divine virtue and the immense love you bear for all the suffering, the oppressed and the needy, hear me, bless me, help me, console me. Amenš
Our Father, Hail Mary and Glory Be (three times).
SAINT FELIX OF NOLA, RELIGIOUS: St. Felix of Nola a helper of the poor lived in the third century. He was the son of Hermias, a Syrian who had been a Roman soldier. He was born on his father’s estate atĀ NolaĀ near Naples, Italy. On the death of his father, St. Felix distributed his inheritance to the poor, was ordained byĀ BishopĀ St. MaximusĀ of Nola, and became his assistant. When Maximus fled to theĀ desertĀ at the beginning of Decius’Ā persecutionĀ of the Christians in 250, St. Felix was seized in his stead and imprisoned. He was reputedly released from prison by an angel, who directed him to the ailing Maximus, whom he brought back to Nola. Even after Decius’ death in 251, St. Felix was a huntedĀ manĀ but kept well hidden until theĀ persecutionĀ ended. When Maximus died, the people unanimously selected Felix as their Bishop, but he declined the honor in favor of Quintus, a senior priest. St. Felix spent the rest of hisĀ lifeĀ on a small piece of land sharing what he had with the poor, and died there on January 14, 260. HisĀ tombĀ soon became famous for the miracles reported there, and when St. Paulinus becameĀ bishopĀ ofĀ NolaĀ almost a century later (410), he wrote about his predecessor, the source of information about him, adding legendary material that had grown up about St. Felix in the intervening century. St. Paulinus of Nola (feast June 22), who cherished a special devotion toward St. Felix, composed fourteen hymns (carmina natalicia) in his honor. In his day (fifth century) the saint’s tomb was visited by pilgrims from far and wide and was noted for its miraculous cures. St. Felix is the Patron SaintĀ Against eye disease; against eye trouble; against false witness; against lies; against perjury; domestic animals; eyes and a helper of the poor.
Saint Felix of Nola, Religious ~ Pray for us š
SAINT NINA (NINO), VIRGIN: St. Nina (fl. III/IV Century) was a Virgin and theĀ ApostleĀ of Georgia, also listed as Christiana. Christianity was first brought to Georgia, Iberia, at the end of the 3rd century, and ancient tradition attributes this fact to the witness and apostolate of St. Nina. Saint Nina was born in Cappadocia. Tradition says she was a relative ofĀ St. GeorgeĀ who travelled to Iberia (Georgia) to convert the people to Christianity. Scholars believe she was a slave to whom the name Nino (the GeorgianĀ formĀ of Nina) was given; she has also been identified as Christiana. The quiet piety of herĀ lifeĀ and her preaching converted many people, and she won the respect of many locals with her patience and goodness and by the miracles she supposedly performed by her power to cure diseases in the name of Christ her God. Her prayers obtained the cure of a dying child. Brought to the royal palace, she cured Queen Nana of a seemingly incurable disease and enabled the Kingāwhen lost while huntingāto find his way again by calling on Christ. Saint Nina converted the queen and the king. Both rulers received instruction and Baptism from St. Nina. Saint Nina was free to teach and preach and she continued to preach throughoutĀ Georgia and she helped to found the Church in Georgia. Under Saint Nina’s direction, a church was erected in such wondrous fashion that the people began to clamor to become Christians also. Hence, the King sent a legate to Emperor Constantine, asking for Bishop and priests to continue and extend St. Ninoās work, and so the Faith came to this region along the Black Sea. St. Nina retired to theĀ lifeĀ of a hermitess, spending the rest of herĀ lifeĀ in prayer until her death at Bodke. A church dedicated to theĀ memoryĀ ofĀ St. GeorgeĀ was built on the site of her grave.
PRAYER: God, through St. Nina, Your Virgin, You enabled those without the Faith to pass from darkness to the light of truth. Grant us through her intercession to stand fast in the Faith and remain constant in the hope of the Gospel that she preached. Amenš

SCRIPTURE REFLECTIONS
Bible Readings for today’s Holy Mass, Tuesday of the First Week in Ordinary Time | USCCB | https://bible.usccb.org/daily-bible-reading
Gospel Reading ~ Mark 1:21-28
“Jesus taught them as one having authority”
“Jesus came to Capernaum with his followers, and on the sabbath he entered the synagogue and taught. The people were astonished at his teaching, for he taught them as one having authority and not as the scribes. In their synagogue was a man with an unclean spirit; he cried out, āWhat have you to do with us, Jesus of Nazareth? Have you come to destroy us? I know who you areāthe Holy One of God!ā Jesus rebuked him and said, āQuiet! Come out of him!ā The unclean spirit convulsed him and with a loud cry came out of him. All were amazed and asked one another, āWhat is this? A new teaching with authority. He commands even the unclean spirits and they obey him.ā His fame spread everywhere throughout the whole region of Galilee.”
Today’s Gospel reading according to Mark gives an account of the first public action and mission of Jesus after His baptism. Jesusā first action sets the tone for the whole of His public ministry. He enters the synagogue of Capernaum and releases a man from an unclean spirit, a spirit which would have separated him from the worshipping community and from God. Jesus is confronted by someone who addresses him in very aggressive tones, āWhat do you want with us? Have you come to destroy us?ā Jesus did not withdraw in the face of such naked aggression but, instead, responded in a way that brought healing to this disturbed person. Jesus rebuked him and said, āQuiet! Come out of him!ā Just as He will later calm the disturbance of the storm at sea. This is the form that Jesusā authoritative presence takes, and that caused people to be amazed and astonished at Him. So often in the Gospels, Jesus does not respond in kind to those who are hostile to Him. Even as He hung from the cross, He prayed for those who had put Him there, āFather, forgive them for they know not what they do?ā The Gospels assure us that the Lord does not relate to us as we relate to Him; His way of relating to us is always more generous and loving than our way of relating to Him. In that first public outing in the synagogue of Capernaum Jesus both taught with authority and acted with authority. In the Gospel reading, the people responded to Jesusā meeting with the disturbed man in the synagogue by expressing amazement at His authority. The people recognized His teaching as different because He taught them with authority, and they further recognized the new authority with which He acted in releasing the possessed man from His demons. The risen Lord is with us in the same authoritative way, standing always ready to bring His own peace to our disturbed spirits, if we come before Him as we are, even if that means in our anger. Jesus had authority from God; Godās authoritative power was at work in and through Him. His was a life-giving authority. Authority may be perceived negatively but, in itself authority is neither good nor bad. It is how it is used that matters. Jesus embodies for us authentic authority, the kind of authority that is the source of life for all who are influenced by it. Jesus exercises His authority by showing love and kindness to those who have no claim on it. In that way He shows us what real authority looks like. We are all called to be authoritative in that sense. Our calling is to allow the Lord to speak and to work authoritatively through us. We are to be channels of Godās creative and life-giving authority for others.
In our first reading today, from the Epistle to the Hebrews, the author, likely St. Luke the Evangelist, wrote to the Jewish community of his time, both to the Jewish converts to the Christian faith and also those who have not yet believed in Christ, talks about the continuation of the testimony of the truth and reality of the identity of the Messiah or the Saviour of the world, in Jesus Christ, the Divine Word of God and Son of God Incarnate in the flesh, having become the Son of Man. The author of the Epistle to the Hebrews spoke of the great power, dominion and sovereignty which God has given to His Son, born into this world through His mother, the ever Blessed Virgin Mary. It was also mentioned how no power, no dominion or greatness can surpass the great things that have been entrusted to this same Man, the Saviour of the world, the Son of God made Man, in Whom all of us Christians believe in and put our trust into. In Jesus Christ, our Lord and Saviour, God has revealed the fullness of His love and grace, made whole and complete, tangible, real and approachable to us through Christ, and by Whose suffering and death, in uniting His humanity to ours, made us all to also share and partake in His glorious Resurrection, overcoming forever the power and dominion of sin and death, fulfilling what God has promised to our ancestors since the very beginning, that Satan and all the wickedness of sin will eventually be defeated. And this testimony is to highlight to the Jewish people how the One that their leaders had chosen to reject and persecute, oppress and handed over to the Romans to be crucified, was truly the Saviour of the world, and not the False Messiah unlike what those Jewish leaders tried to spread falsely among the people, including the attempt to give a false story regarding the Lordās Resurrection by saying that the Lordās disciples had stolen His Body and hid Him. It is also therefore a reminder for all of us Who it is that we truly believe in and put our faith and trust in, Whom we worship, honour and glorify by our lives, in each and every moments we have been given.
As we reflect on the words of the Sacred Scriptures today, we are reminded again of the salvation and great grace that we have received from God through His Son, Our Lord Jesus Christ, Our Saviour and Redeemer. For through Him, all of us have been shown the sure and direct path towards eternal life and true joy with God, by all that He had done in offering Himself with the perfect sacrifice and offering of His own Most Precious Body and Blood, as the Paschal Lamb offered on the Altar of His Cross. And as Christians, this is the core tenet of our faith, our belief in the Lordās ultimate sacrifice and love for all of us sinners, that He has willingly embraced each one of us and loved us all despite us having sinned against Him, disobeyed Him and betrayed Him. Let us all therefore do our best in each and every moments of our lives so that we may truly be empowered to do what we should do as Christians, as Godās holy and beloved people to be the courageous and ever devoted missionaries and servants of God and His cause in our world today. Let us all no longer be hesitant but be more committed than ever to walk ever more faithfully in Godās Holy Presence, now and always. We are called to emulate the Holy men and women and the Saints, particularly the Saints we celebrate today on this Feast of our infant Jesus of Prague, Saint Felix of Nola and Saint Nina (Nino). Let us all therefore renew our faith and commitment to the Lord. Let us all strive to do what is right, virtuous and just according to Godās will at every possible opportunities. Let us all do what God has called us to do in our respective lives, in whatever areas and parts of life, in our various vocations and calling in life, so that our lives may truly be exemplary and good, and be the shining beacons of Godās truth and love, proclaiming Him to everyone all around us at all times. May God in His infinite grace and mercy, bless us all in our every good works, efforts and endeavours, in all that we say and do, now and always. Amen š
DEVOTION OF THE MONTH OF JANUARY | MONTH OF THE HOLY NAME OF JESUS: The month of January is traditionally dedicated to the Holy Name of Jesus. After the Blessed Virgin Mary conceived by the Holy Spirit, the Angel Gabriel appeared to St. Joseph and told him that the Childās name should be called Jesus, meaning āGod Saves.ā According to Jewish law, on the 8th day after his birth a male child was to be circumcised, receive his name, and become a full member of Godās covenant people. According to the old Roman liturgical calendar, the Feast of the Circumcision of Jesus was celebrated on January 1st, eight days after Christmas, the same day that He was given His sacred name. Currently we celebrate the SolemnityĀ of the Mother of God on January 1st and honor the Holy Name of Jesus on January 3rd. For Catholics, Jesusā sacred name is the object of a special devotion symbolized by the monogram āIHS,ā (sometimes called a Christogram), which is the first three letters of the GreekĀ spelling of His name.
